Today is National Play-Doh Day. Who knew? Miss J. is only one year (and two weeks!) old, so she’s not playing with Play-Doh….yet. Although I’m sure if I gave it to her, she’d have a blast. Eating it.
I’ve recently learned about alternatives to the Hasbro Play-Doh we all know and love from our childhood. I can even SMELL it as I write this. But, like most things these days, it’s laden with chemicals and preservatives. No offense to you, original Play-Doh. I have nothing but good memories about you.
But many of us are looking for greener options. For Play-doh, there is Miss Brittany’s Organic Preschool Fun Dough.
Miss Brittany is a preschool teacher in New York City. She was determined to find an alternative to the original Play-Doh that was environmentally friendly and safe for kids. Now, her line includes five colors of dough as well as various accessories. Everything is 100% organic, even down to the ink used on the packaging. 
I requested a sample so I could feel it, smell it and play with it a little. It’s a little sticky at first but once you work with it a little bit that goes away. It has a very mild, salty smell and no, I did not eat it. Neither did Miss J.
In honor of National Play-Doh Day, Miss Brittany is offering a 20% discount – just enter code NPD09 when purchasing through the website.
So you get to try the dough….and save a little too. (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)

I’ll have to check this one out! We love the organic dough around here (but our colors have all been mixed together.) So we’re due for a new batch.
(Oh and no offense to the original Play-Doh either, but I cannot stand the smell of it. Ick!)
